This book explores environmental challenges in the Baltic region
from an economic perspective. Featuring contributions from regional
experts from Nordic, Baltic and Eastern European countries it
addresses the response to eutrophication caused by increased loads
of nutrients to the sea from agriculture, wastewater, industry and
traffic, and cost-effective solutions to reach the Baltic Sea
Action Plan (BSAP) targets, set up through the Helsinki
Commission (HELCOM). Contributions also explore the
environmental impacts of rural landscape change during the
post-communist period in the Baltic Sea region and a review of the
ex-post evaluations of the costs and benefits generated by Baltic
Sea nutrient abatement policies. Public policies towards marine
protection, wind power establishment, and attitudes to paying for
environmental protection, environmental resilience and the
international cooperation in the Baltic region are also discussed.
